02Place potatoes on a small rimmed baking sheet or pan. Drizzle with duck fat and add rosemary and garlic to pan. Generously salt and pepper potatoes. Gently toss potatoes until evenly coated with the duck fat.
03Roast potatoes for 20 minutes. Flip them, then roast an additional 8 to 10 minutes. Serve warm.
